The Leon Golberg Memorial Travel Award
Golberg Memorial Travel Award
The Leon Golberg Memorial Travel Award is an annual award open to CiTEM students as well as students in other toxicology-related programs at UNC-CH presenting accepted abstracts at the Society of Toxicology meeting. More information about Leon Golberg and his contributions to Toxicology can be found in his Toxicological Sciences feature. The award is paid from interest on an endowment the Golberg family has graciously set aside for the students in CiTEM and UNC. Because of this, the funds available to the program each year are fluid.
To apply for the award, please email your abstract and any travel awards you have already won in the current year to the current Business Services Coordinator. The program takes each application seriously and we do our best to notify winners within three weeks of the submission deadline. Because this award is a Spring Semester award, the program traditionally accepts abstract submissions from the 1st of February, with the due date being the 15th of February.
If you win a Leon Golberg Memorial Travel Award, you will be notified by email including the details of your award and where to pick up your Golberg ribbon, to be displayed with your abstract presentation at the Society of Toxicology should you choose to attend. The award will be entered into GradStar by the Business Services Coordinator and follows the same process as any other award processed through GradStar. Please allow 3-5 days for the University Cashier to process the payment and be sure to check your student account for any outstanding balances that would keep you from receiving the payment.

The deadline for applications is February 3rd at 5:00PM.
